A stackable modular cabinet having modular, interlocking side units which allow cabinet dimensions to be tailored both vertically and laterally to user needs while also providing the strength and stability to support heavy equipment such as electronic subassemblies. Each side unit has a pair of mating flanges with apertures for receiving and retaining fastening pins that interlock to the fastening pins of a different side unit when the respective flanges of the two side units mate. The interlocked fastening pin structure forms unified rods which extend the full height of the cabinet and which cooperates with the intervening side unit flanges. Each side unit further has re-enforced, double-sided bracket structures at opposing ends which, in combination with the pin structure, provides an unusual amount of strength to the modular cabinet.

[ What is claimed is:] [24.] For use in a modular cabinet structure having a plurality of side panels, a mounting structure comprising:an elongated channel member having a predetermined length and having a first end and a second end oppositely disposed from said first end, said elongated channel member extending longitudinally between said first end and said second end and further having a pair of spaced apart sides, one of said sides adapted to cooperate with a side panel;first and second pin retention flange members mounted on said first and second ends, respectively, said first pin retention flange member to cooperate with a respectively associated second pin retention flange member of a different mounting structure and said seconds pin retention flange member to cooperate with a respectively associated first pin retention flange member of a yet different mounting structure; anda locking pin extending substantially along said length of said elongated channel member from said first pin retention flange member at said first end to said second pin retention flange member at said second end and cooperatively retained by said first and second pin retention flange members, said locking pin having an insertion locking end and a receiving locking end, said insertion locking end capable of cooperating with a receiving locking end of a different locking pin, and said receiving locking end capable of cooperating with a insertion locking end of a still different locking pin to form a substantially rigid interlocked continuous structure for providing structural strength to the modular cabinet structure.
